PISCATAWAY, N.J. – A Rutgers volleyball program record 6,757 were in attendance at Jersey Mike's Arena to watch the Scarlet Knights battle No. 1 Nebraska on Sunday afternoon.

The top-ranked Cornhuskers remained undefeated with 25-15, 25-20 and 25-18 set victories.

Nebraska upped their overall mark to 23-0 and 14-0 in the Big Ten while Rutgers dropped to 10-14 overall and 2-12 in league play.

• The 6,757 people in attendance topped the previous Rutgers volleyball attendance record of 1,907 set against Nebraska back on Oct. 10, 2021
• Redshirt sophomore Alissa Kinkela led Rutgers with eight kills and career-high 15 digs.
• Freshman Zora Hardison hit .455 with six kills on 11 swings.
• Fifth-year senior Alyssa Nayar was just short of a double-double with 23 assists and eight digs. Her 23 assists pushed her career total at Rutgers in the category over 1,000 becoming the sixth Scarlet Knight of the rally era with 1,000 or more career assists. She also cracked the rally-era season top 10 with 728 helpers to-date in 2023.
• Senior Madyson Chitty also added 11 digs for the Scarlet Knights surpassing the 1,200 career dig mark.
• Nebraska served up a season-low one ace.

• Set 1 (15-25) | Third time was the charm for an Anna Hartman swing as her point saw Rutgers trail the top-ranked Cornhuskers 14-10. Nebraska, however, continued to grow its lead only allowing the Scarlet Knights back-to-back points once more time down the stretch.  Taylor Humphrey collected three digs while Madyson Chitty garnered six digs on defense.

• Set 2 (20-25) | Rutgers led for much of the frame going up by four early at 9-5 and holding on to an 18-15 lead before the Cornhuskers made their move. After playing out to its early four-point advantage, Nebraska tied up the set at 12-12, but the Scarlet Knights stayed in front responding with six of the next nine points for an 18-15 edge. Nebraska though was able to take the lead and the frame closing on a 10-2 run. Alissa Kinkela notched four kills on nine swings with no errors to hit .444 while adding five digs to her state line.

• Set 3 (18-25) | The Cornhuskers came up with the frame's first five points. With Nebraska up 11-5, the two squads traded points with Rutgers tacking on three unanswered off kills by Alyssa Nayar, Taylor Humphrey and Bekah Williams to trail 14-10. A Cornhusker attack error had RU down by four at 15-11 but the visitors would go on to lead by as many as seven in the win. Alissa Kinkela came up with six digs and joined Anna Hartman with a pair of kills in the stanza.
